> I drive pretty often

How many miles does the car have?

The screen isn't a mechanical part. That's the equivalent of someone trying to justify their radio failing because they drive a lot.

In the article it states that the memory is burned every time a car is booted up and put in drive, that means if you drive many times each day,it's going to burn up faster than if you say, drive from LA to Vegas once a month. This is according to the Feds research.

Sorry if my statement wasn't clear.

More miles = more vibration and temperature changes

Understood, but how many miles are we talking about here? I know plenty of cars with smaller touch screens that last the lifetime of the car (100k+ miles).
